The Police operatives also recovered 552 live rounds of ammunition from the suspects.

Briefing journalists at the Police Command headquarters in Owerri, the State capital, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Henry Okoye, on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma, stated that the successful outcome of the arrest was a result of the proactive operational strategies adopted by the men and officers of the Command in the fight against violent crimes and other related offences in the state.

He said that one of the breakthroughs recorded by the Command was the arrest of killers of Major General Duru (Rtd), who was said to have been kidnapped along Bishops Court, Area 7, Orji/Uratta, Owerri, in his black Mercedes Benz car but was later killed after the payment of $50,000 ransom by his family.

The PPRO further informed that the arrest of the killers of the retired Army General was carried out by the operatives of Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the Police Command through a sustained follow-up of intelligence gathering that led to the apprehension of the gang leader and other members of the terror group.
